Dec 27, 2020 at 15:20 comment added Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine @DmitriPavlov: Ah, my mistake — I’d missed the tags. Yes, those do make the distinction a bit clearer!

Dec 26, 2020 at 18:32 comment added Dmitri Pavlov @PeterLeFanuLumsdaine: The OP used tags "sites" and "grothendieck-topology", which clearly point to Grothendieck toposes. The other question mentioned computer science, which clearly points to elementary toposes. Only the OP can offer clarifications, of course, but it would seem to me that the current question is already unambiguous, if not very explicit, and is certainly distinct for the other question.
Dec 26, 2020 at 18:06 comment added Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine @DmitriPavlov: Apart from the mention of a computer science background in the other question, I’m not sure where you’re seeing those differences in the questions. All the question currently says is “I looked for references and all I found was the Stacks project and G–A–V”, which could be due to an interest in Grothendieck toposes but could also just be because the OP’s literature search didn’t go very far. If the OP could give more details of their background and what aspects of topos theory they’re interested in, that would make the difference rather clearer.
Dec 26, 2020 at 17:54 comment added Dmitri Pavlov @PeterLeFanuLumsdaine: The other question is about computer science (and elementary toposes), whereas this question is about Grothendieck toposes. The answers differ accordingly.

Dec 26, 2020 at 16:39 comment added Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine Pretty much a duplicate of Topos theory reference suitable for undergraduates. Question not exactly the same, but close enough that there’s really no difference in what answers they invite.

Dec 26, 2020 at 9:28 comment added David Roberts @R.vanDobbendeBruyn it's definitely available, though I think it's now a more cheaply-produced print-on-demand copy. Mine is like this, and I was unhappy to see the low-resolution of the font, the pixelation of the glyphs is visible with the naked eye in places. The binding is also not hardbound with cloth, but casewrapped. Oh, and it still costs ~$600 from OUP (I guess USD)

Dec 26, 2020 at 0:01 comment added godelian @R.vanDobbendeBruyn I wouldn't know if it's still in print, but the university libraries should have it. I do know electronic copies are available online, though not legally of course.
Dec 25, 2020 at 23:23 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn @godelian is the Elephant still in print? Are there reasonable ways to obtain a copy for less than a few hundred (or thousand) dollars?
Dec 25, 2020 at 21:53 comment added Emily Here's a small list of references (in the far from optimal form of a directory tree): list
Dec 25, 2020 at 15:25 comment added Mike Shulman E.g. ncatlab.org/nlab/show/topos#References
Dec 25, 2020 at 14:38 comment added Kevin Carlson Googling will immediately turn up at least four more good references.
Dec 25, 2020 at 14:10 comment added godelian I recommend the standard references "Sheaves in geometry and logic", by Maclane-Moerdijk, as well as the two volumes of Peter Johnstone "Sketches of an Elephant".
